Vehicle Description
When you spot a listing for a 1970 'Cuda, the first thing you're
sure to read is a string of adjectives extolling the value of the
car. And, sure, this factory Lime Light coupe is a great
investment, but Return On Investment isn't the sole purpose of
owning a storied collector car. It's about the feel... the
emotion... the thrill of experiencing one of the greatest machines
ever created. Whether experiencing or investing, this fantastic
Plymouth is sure to create a stir! Pairing an original Super
Commando 440 with correct 6 BBL induction and a correct A833
4-speed, this Plymouth is prime MoPar muscle! And if you're looking
for some choice metal that'll stop the show AND tear up the road,
it's a fine candidate for your next classic.
AUTHENTIC HIGH IMPACT PAINT
Methodically restored, this E-Body's latest rebuild began in 2016
when its solid, original exterior sheetmetal was carefully stripped
and lovingly refinished. In addition to being an early member of
the 902 1970 440 6 BBL hardtop 4-speed 'Cudas produced, this
Plymouth is a legit Lime Light High Impact Paint car. What's more:
that correct 2-stage looks predictably maniacal under correct
Longitudinal Sport Stripes. Factory detailing begins with a
stainless-trimmed, 1970-exclusive grille, which hangs traditional
halogen headlights above a bright bumper and polished fog lamps. At
the top of that grille, stainless lanyards pin a retrofitted Shaker
Hood, which anchors subtle "'cuda 440-6" badging in front of clean,
stainless-trimmed glass. At the sides of that hood, ridged rocker
guards frame vivid marker lamps, satin door handles and attractive
sport mirrors. And at the back of the car, a Satin Black valence
hangs a cool "'cuda" emblem between simple taillights, a second
bright bumper and polished exhaust tips.
AUTHENTIC 440 6 BBL POWER
Pull this Plymouth's polished pins and you'll find an original, 440
cubic inch Super Commando V8 that was authenticated in April of
2017 by David Wise of MMC Detroit. More popular than Chrysler's
famed Hemi, and almost as feared, Plymouth's storied 440 6 BBL was
designed to be the industry's best combination of comfort,
streetability and big block performance. Oxygen whips through a
flaked Shaker to three 1974 Holleys. At the front of those carbs, a
traditional points distributor sequences fire through proven
Chrysler Electronic Suppression cables. At the sides of that
intake, Hemi Orange valve covers perfectly contrast correct exhaust
manifolds. Combustion is provided by unaltered factory internals.
Cooling comes courtesy of a correct Heavy Duty Cooling Package,
which includes a 7-blade torque drive fan. Aesthetically, the buff
powerplant is clean, mean and ready to show. And naturally, a
2536430 casting number shades a matching 100742 partial VIN.
AUTHENTIC DRIVING EXPERIENCE The chassis specs leave little
question as to what this 'Cuda was engineered to do best. Untouched
floors hang factory undercoating over largely original bones. The
aforementioned RB funnels thrust to a correct A833 4-speed. That
transmission twists power to a correct Super Track Pak Dana 60
that's finished with a posi-traction differential and big, 4.10
gears. Below that sorted drivetrain, a correct Hemi Suspension
includes a correct sway bar and correct Firm Ride shock absorbers.
Optional power front disc and rear drum brakes provide plenty of
stopping power. Exhaust is handled by free-flowing, 2.5-inch pipes,
which jettison cooked dinosaurs through factory replacement
mufflers and factory replacement resonators. And torque meets the
pavement through crisp Rallye Wheels, which spin F60-15 Goodyear
Polyglas GTs around silver center caps and polished trim rings.
AUTHENTIC APPEAL
Swivel the car's solid-closing doors and you'll find a correct
Black interior that's built around optional leather seating. In
front of the driver, an ornate Rim Blow Steering Wheel laps a
wood-trimmed dash that's finished with detailed Rallye Gauges and
vintage Chrysler Solid State audio. Below that dash, stain-free
carpet traces a Hurst Pistol Grip Shifter. At the sides of that
carpet, sculpted panels proudly hang the 'Cuda name above
traditional window cranks, integrated door handles and cool chrome
locks. And behind the passengers, a fully restored trunk hangs a
correct decklid decal above a fresh mat and spare tire.
